Sunday looks to be a nice day for a bike ride. Front and rear lights are highly encouraged due to early darkness.
Everyone is expected to ride as a group. If you choose to ride at a much faster pace than the leader or deviate from the route, then you are on your own.

Bring a cue sheet and/or a navigational device to the ride and also have the phone number of the Ride Leaders and the phone number of at least one friend.

This is a relatively easy moderate ride with a few rollers, and one 3-4 mi incline, but make sure you can do the stated pace and distance.
